Quick Menu Preview
Instant frontend preview for Joomla menu items – right from the backend. Quick Menu Preview allows administrators and editors to open any Joomla menu item directly in the frontend with a single click. No searching, no manual URL checking, no unnecessary navigation.
The plugin adds two helpful enhancements to the Joomla backend:
- A new “Preview” column in the menu item list
→ Open any menu item’s frontend page with one click - A “Quick Menu Preview” button inside the menu item edit form
→ Instantly open the corresponding page in a new browser tab
Perfect for users who need fast and efficient access to the frontend version of menu items – especially when:
- managing large numbers of menu items
- performing template or layout adjustments
- working in editorial workflows
- frequently checking frontend changes
